Holden dont have a competitor for Mustang, Transit custom or transit heavy which account for 960 of the 1600 unit deficeit so when comparing apples with apples its really only a 650 unit margin.

Holdens ladder position over the past 6 months is more to do with the performance of Kia, VW and Nissan and it wont be long before they are knocking loudly on Fords door at no5 as well.
Solid melt.

JPD made a solid point that Holdens extra sales in passenger cars are mostly segments where profits are nearly non-existant. Especially for Holden who are forced to discount the crap out of them just to get them off the lot. Their profit levels must be comically low.
